Just checked mine via 17track, number not recognised. Did you deal with John directly? I have him on skype. I'm currently threatening to cancel the order as there is no proof this has actually been sent, despite his assurances that it has.

yes i dealt with john. i have had a lot of drives from him- they have always arrived.
maybe being made to order etc? i know a special i ordered took around a week to test/dispatch.
give it a week . - you wont find these cheaper anywhere else. i know tracking via china is a bit hit n miss. did you purchase via aliexpress?

Hi, no, directly via him, he sent me a proforma, I paid via Paypal. This was due to the resistor not being listed anywhere, so this was 'custom' however the VFD is standard. Will give it this week and see what happens.

Ye, saw those. Suppose I could have gone that way (Cheaper), that said, at least with his, it should all work without issue.

What type of ramp down time do you use on your spindle?

Thanks

tested at 3 seconds with
but being kind to my spindle!
